1) I am really good at playing soccer and video games.
2) I feel excited when I play soccer because I want to make a goal. I also feel the same when I play video games because I want to pass every single level in the game.
3) If people don't let me play soccer I feel mad and sad. But if people don't let me play games I feel furious.

Boy of the Painted Cave
Chapter 1
1) A problem Tao had was that he had a deformed foot. The second problem he had was that he was hungry to death. He had not eating in two days.
2) I think that people are going to start accepting him with his bad foot. I think he is going to find food in the forest.
Chapter 2
3) First Tao lost the rabbit. So Volt gave him a punishment. Tao couldn't go back to camp until he found another rabbit. Then Tao found a forsaken place where there was fruits and water. But people said that in that place there was evil spirits. He took his risks and went into the place. Suddenly he heard a sound. He had never seen an evil spirit, but he thought he was about to.
Chapter 3
1) Tao and Ram learned how to hunt together. First they took two eggs from an eagle-owl's nest. Then they killed three rabbits. 2) Tao said that since he has a wolf dog he is going to be able to bring back more food to camp. He also said that he will hunt alone with the wolf. 3) I think that Tao has a lot of courage. He is a really tuff boy. I think he has a lot of courage because he stand up to me and Garth. He is also tuff because he hunts alone with a wolf. Who would have the courage to hunt alone with a wolf. That's why I think that Tao is a boy with a lot of courage. Even though I have had problems with Tao I am still proud of him. He is very intellegent when it comes to hunting.
Chapter 8
1) I imagine me not going to school because I don't want to. I think that a lot of classes are boring. I got to sleep and wake up early because of school.
2) I think I shouldn't follw my drem because it will never happen. I have to follow the society rules. If I don't go to school my parents could go to school. Another problem would be that I wouldn't get enough education. But the consequences would be even worst when I grow up. When I grow up I wouldn't be able to get a good job that pays a lot of money. Instead I would have to work at a job that pays a little of money. The reason of these consequences would be that I never finish school and didn't get diplomas.
Chapter 9
1) I think Graybeard changed his mind because he feels sorry for Tao. Graybeard knows that Tao loves to draw but Tao would never be able to draw because he is not a chosen one. Another reason why he might had change his mind was because he thinks that he needs an apprentice. Maybe Tao makes Graybeard remember of when he was a boy.
2) I think that Graybeard is a kind, good, caring, and generous person. He is going to teach Tao how to do magic and how to draw. Even though he is not supposed to he is still going to do it.
Chapter 11
1) Yes, I think Graybeard is a good teacher. Because Gray beard is teaching Tao everything he knows. He is also being very patient with Tao of how quick or how slow his learning. Graybeard is also putting his life in risk. The reason is because he is teaching Tao how to draw and how to do magic. Graybeard is not supposed to teach Tao how to draw or how to do magic because Tao is not a chosen one. Because this is taboo.
2) Yes, I would have liked to be taught by Graybeard. It would have been great. He would teach me how to paint and how to do magic. I would also have liked to be his student because he is caring, nice, smart, and patient.
